Objects that are inserted onto slides are free-floating graphical objects. No object is anchored to a
place on the slide. Each object occupies a space and also a plane. The slide is three-dimensional
in that objects can be placed in-front-of and behind each other.
To change the order in which objects are layered, rightclick on the object you wish to move. Scroll down to
Order. Four choices will appear: Bring to Front, Send to
Back, Bring Forward, Send Backward.
When you insert an object onto a slide it will have resize
markers around it and a green ball on top. The green ball
is the free rotation tool. Click and hold the left mouse
button and rotate the object 360º. If the object contains a
yellow diamond this is a tool used to tilt the object or
change its appearance by altering the line placements.
